ABSTRACT:

The objective of this work is to examine the effects of nitrogen, as nitride and as a gas phase reactant, on hydrocarbon sysntesis reactions over iron catalysts. In tis first quarterly period of a three year program, two studients have been assigned to the project and have begun assimilation of the literature and upgrading of equipment. Initial Mossbauer spectroscopic and kinetic experiments on bulk iron nitrides show our ability to prepare and identify the gamma '-Fe sub 4 N phase and follows its stability during Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Kinetic and characterization experiments will be the major emphasis of this first phase of the work. 3 figures, 2 tables. (ERA citation 08:014229)
